One of those is about the feasibility of 8 bit email addresses. UTF is 
just the
example. Seems productive to me. Of the points brought up included the
ability to type an 8-bit email address in with a keyboard, which causes me
pause while I try to determine if or how important that is to me.

Talking in general terms is fine, but without a debate on the feasibility
of the idea as it applies to the people writing the code or if it is 
possible
to use the idea in the administration of the idea also seems on topic to me.
